Thailand was known as being a cheap and exotic holiday destination, but can you save money if you buy a digital camera whilst on holiday in somewhere like Bangkok ?We get a number of emails from our readers asking us to provide them with information about the price of certain cameras. These tend to be Point & Shoot type cameras from the likes of Nikon and Canon but there are a few who are looking for more high end, semi-professional and professional cameras.The thing they have in common is that they are coming to Thailand and will do a bit of shopping in Bangkok before heading off to the beaches and they want to buy a camera; thinking that they will probably save some money.To start with, Thailand has a VAT rate of 7% so you could start by comparing that to your own country's VAT rate.

Since I work in the industry, I have noticed very few stores do not have any video surveillance systems watching the store. Either can be a candidate for a dummy video camera, as well as home video surveillance systems.What is a dummy video camera? They are an actual video camera that does not contain any internal parts to record, it is only a shell that appears to be a video camera. The parts that do the recording have been removed, and the empty shell can be used whether you have a video surveillance system in place or not.There are two types of dummy cameras we know of; dome and box cameras. Dome are the ones you usually see in the store on the ceiling, the black bubbles. The others are box cameras that are mounted on brackets, and usually used in warehouses, banks, and other professional applications where you need a high quality camera.These two types of cameras also come with two variations; one is a red light, and the other is motion.
